My read on Astorino is the same as we heard from the NJ Governor. He cannot win.<br /> If Cuomo wins the Dem primary, he likely beats Astorino by 15 and Green candidate Howie Hawkins picks up the disaffected progressives, possibly taking the C line for the next four years.<br />If Teachout wins, and Andy vacates the minor lines, she likely wins in November.<br />All of this assume Z prevails in court on her right to run.Jeff Grahamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17210503692869129079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-62659061291065946032014-08-07T14:42:24.273-04:002014-08-07T14:42:24.273-04:00There is nothing for them to vote on in the primar...There is nothing for them to vote on in the primary. The Republican party already has its candidate: Rob Astorino. The Independence party will probably not have its own candidate but will endorse a major party candidate. So, there are no primaries for those parties. Only registered Democrats get to vote to choose the party&#39;s candidate.
